What is the pastor's class?

What is the Pastor’s Class?
This is a class designed to help new people to Grace Church get better acquainted with me while learning more about how Grace Church operates and what our church believes.

What is the format of this class?
It is a very informal time-period. Each class runs about 75 minutes in length. The first 30 minutes is a Q&A time where you can ask me any question you would like about myself, about our church, about the Bible or about current events. The final 45 minutes is spent going over a lesson about what Grace Church believes.

What topics are gone over at this class?
Over these classes we cover what Grace Church believes about the Bible; about Jesus; about sin and salvation; about building intimacy with God; about baptism, communion and church membership; and what Grace Church believes about stewardship. Each person is also provided with a notebook that has all of the class notes in it as well as complete notes on what Grace Church believes on God, the Holy Spirit and spiritual gifts. This notebook also contains a copy of the church constitution and a copy of a church membership application.

If I take this class am I committed to becoming a member of the church?
No. Although taking the Pastor’s Class is required to become a member of Grace Church, you are not in any way obligated to become a member by taking the class.

When will the next Pastor’s class be held?
The pastor’s class is usually held 3 times a year. The next class will be held on 7 consecutive Wednesday evenings from 7:00 to 8:15 beginning January 25th in the school Art Room.

Is child-care available if I take the class?
Yes. Our full Wednesday night children’s and youth programs happen at the exact same time as the pastor’s class so there is something for everyone in the whole family.

What do I have to do to attend?
Simply call the church office and let them know that you would like to sign-up for the Pastor’s class. There is no cost to take this class. Please consider registering today!
